Veteran-Owned

    Direct Hire Recruiting

    Permanent-placement recruiting that closes hard-to-fill roles.

    Our direct hire practice fills permanent, full-time roles across engineering, IT, cybersecurity, finance, operations, supply chain, sales, and HR. As a veteran-owned recruiting firm, we move with discipline — clear scope, fast slates, and candidates who actually accept the offer.

    Slates in days, not months

    Most search engagements deliver qualified shortlists within 10 business days.

    Built for hard-to-fill roles

    Cleared talent, niche engineering, regulated finance, and other roles where job boards don't deliver.

    Placement guarantee

    Every direct hire placement is backed by a written guarantee — we replace at no cost if a candidate doesn't work out within the guarantee window.
